as of july 2, 2006, here is what is now the kmart in scarboro (scarborough) me and it was 80,000 sq.ft. and closed late 1995. well the store was not in a so good location and could have worked closer to the maine mall.

here is what is now the kmart in woburn ma in the woburn mall and the store closed in 1983 and became lechmere and now aj wright (now sports authority) and tj maxx. it was like probably late 70,000s sq.ft. and opened 1978. it had the kmart slope a few years ago and you could barley see the K (I have pictures of it to be digitized.)

Sweet ride! (as the young kids would say.) :insane:

How about K Mart brings back their supermakets with this new logo recycled from the old logo?

The Sears essentials format has been dropped and the stores should be becoming Sears Grand. I haven't heard of any new conversions though in the past few months so it may be a dead concept

The operator of Kmart in Australia, Coles is dropping the Kmart name...!  Coles also operates Target in australia. The K mart department store brand will disappear within 18 months.  Kmart had 165 stores in Australia and NewZeland.  The first store opened in 1969.

Thats disappointing, but I didn't really understand why that company had so many different divisions to begin with. I wonder if Coles had to pay the U.S. Kmart/Sears royalties for using the Kmart name all these years--not sure how the law works about that

I've seen it in 2002 or 2003 and i think that the Kmart style entrance was still there but painted over.  It reminds me of the Kmart entrance at the Lilac Mall of Rochester NH.
